Mavros Pov:
"Care to explain why you are the only relic that feels excitement seeing me.", I asked the being in the relic who was smiling at me.
We were floating in a white void above a massive lake. Which seemed to have no end.
"Seems you have forgotten. I was so happy to see you again too." The Jeannie pouted confusing me even more. She floated toward me and hung her arm around my neck. While putting her hand on my chest leaning her head on my shoulder. "Oh, how I missed this scent. You may not remember, but I'm happy you returned my love~."
Oh, I get it. She is crazy. Makes sense that the relic of destruction has the strangest... quirks... fetishes.
Moving her away from me caused her to pout and look at me in confusion.
"I'm not the same as I once was. I have a girlfriend. So, don't cling on to me like that." I told her.
"I don't mind sharing~." She told me coming near me again.
"Enough," I said, releasing my Draconic presence.
She looked at me raising an eyebrow before snapping her fingers causing my aura to vanish. I looked at her in shock before getting ready for a fight.
"Relic of destruction remember. I'm able to destroy almost any concept. Especially, when you are in my realm." She told me, not caring about my stance. "I'm not going to fight you. You are still my master even if you don't remember our first meeting."
True enough to her words a chain started forming between us. I knew instinctively I could put her in her place. If I wanted. So, like she said she wasn't a threat.
"If you are able to destroy any concept. Why not free yourself?" I asked, it would have been the first thing I did if I had her power.
"Impossible. You were stronger than me. Debatable if you still are, but I can't destroy concepts by beings stronger than myself." she said, not fazed at her situation. Then again it was nothing new to her.
"I see. So, would I be able to use your power against the brothers?" I asked, hoping for help.
"Wouldn't recommend it. They would just turn it back towards you," She informed me. "Us relics only have our powers because of them. So, they still have control of them... to an extent."
Sighing to myself, I put my hand on my face rubbing my forehead a little worried. If she was able to destroy my aura barely trying, can I even do damage to the gods. Did that vision lie? No, I can't think like that. I was able to match them in that vision, so I will be able to now. Especially, if I use all my power.
"Master~, it's been so long since I heard you call my name, so can you reward your servant?" The Jeannie asked, catching my attention.
"Which is?" I asked, not knowing it.
"Viviane," she informed.
"Viviane. After the Lady of the Lake. Beautiful name." I said, in thought. Made sense that her name was Viviane since it was the true name of the Lady of the Lake. She was sometimes referred to as Nimue though.
"Thank you, master~," Viviane said, almost moaning in ecstasy.
"I think it's about time," I said, out loud and still in thought getting Viviane to hum in agreement.
I reached into my inventory pulling out the relic of knowledge. It seemed to shake in anticipation. Knowing what was near. It might have been Djinn, but it didn't feel like it. Almost like it was the relic itself.
"Djinn," I said, summoning her. She nodded to her sisters and looked back at me. Looking at me in... pity.
Pulling out the relic of choice, it too shook.
"Nike," I called her forth. She looked straight at me not caring about looking at her siblings.
"Master," she said sadly.
I didn't say anything and grabbed the relic of creation. When the relic came out of my inventory the other three started to glow and the staff was shaking violently in my hand pulsing in white light.
"Ambrosius," I summoned him. Sealing my fate. It was a do-or-die situation. Ambrosius formed in front of me and bowed to me before he and his siblings all formed into a blue mist that shot up into the sky destroying the realm we were in and bringing me back to Vacuo.
I was no longer below Shade. Which is the huntsman academy of Vacuo. I was now above the ground in the courtyard. Which of course attracted everyone's attention to someone appearing from thin air and having a blue mist and floating objects in front of him.
I looked around checking everyone nearby briefly seeing if anyone was a potential hindrance. I saw one man with black hair looking at the relics in shock and fear. He seemed to be middle-aged. The possibly mid-forties. He seemed to grow angered before his glare went to me.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" The man screamed.
I used Observe just to see his name. Seeing Theodore pop up. Seeing he had the title Headmaster of Shade.
"If you don't want your students to die. They better start running. The brothers aren't the kind gods the fairytales showed them as." I said, not caring about his anger. He may have been strong, but I could stop him with ease.
He grabbed his scroll pressing a few buttons before the intercoms of the Vacou sounded. Alarms sounding out through all of Vacou.
How much power does this headmaster have to warn all of Vacou?
"This is not a drill. I repeat this is not a drill. A disaster-level threat is on its way to Vacou. Bullheads go to all nearby ports and everyone starts the evacuation. All available huntsmen get to Shade. Now!
Theodore was angered by me, but he walked by my side sliding on gloves. That looked to be infused with dust.
"I may have questions for you, but they can wait. We got bigger concerns but answer me this." He said, keeping his eyes on the mist. "Are you the reason Ozpin hasn't contacted me?"
I looked at him gauging his reaction. Nodding my head, I noticed he sighed before concentrating on the mist that seemed to be reacting to something.
The pillar that shot up into the sky vanished getting absorbed into its starting point in the courtyard. It went quiet for a moment not making any moves and exploded outwards causing me to step back to brace myself. Theodore slid across the courtyard. The look of surprise on his face showed he was shocked by the force and how far it pushed him.
The Relics stopped glowing and leftover mist absorbed back into the beings in the relics. Then vanished into their containers. It was silent for a moment when I felt something... off. I put the relics in my inventory, so I wouldn't lose them then started to investigate the surroundings trying to see what I felt was off. I noticed in the sky something coming toward me and narrowed my eyes at two specks of light that seemed to be getting closer. One was black energy and the other a gold energy. They were coming toward us fast. I barely had time to jump back before the area near the relics exploded. Filling the area with smoke.
When it started to clear I saw two deer-like humanoid beings standing where the relics once were. However, where their flesh once was showed pure light in one while the other showed pure darkness.
"It has been a very long time brother since we have stepped foot on this realm. Not much has changed," the God of Darkness(GOD) said.
"It is disappointing that humanity couldn't get over their differences and unite. Ozma failed on his goal and seemed to no longer be on this plane. Strange, I did not feel his passing." the God of Light(GOL) sadly stated.
"Maybe the one that summoned us has answers," GOD stated causing both brothers to stare at me like they were reading my soul. "He does seem to be hiding something... powerful."
"Agreed, brother. So, mortal could you answer our questions? What happened to Ozma? What are you?" GOL asked curiously.
"He has faded. Soul erased, so no more reincarnation. It was almost a mercy compared to what you two did." I said, causing them to look at me curiously. The GOD did snarl at me.
"You know nothing of what you speak. Do not pretend to know the thoughts of GODS, mortal." GOD snarled at me.
"I do know the thoughts of GODS. Maybe better than anyone. However, that isn't too important when you two are going to die or in godly terms fade." I said with way more confidence than I felt.
"Oh, you believe yourself capable to cause us to fade. A bold claim for one who is alone." GOD darkly laughs.
"He isn't alone. I will not allow you to cause harm to Remnant." Theodore growled.
The GOD started laughing before snapping his fingers causing Theodore's arms to explode. Theodore screamed in pain his aura flaring to attempt to heal him. He ran away from us, missing his arms. While the GOD just laughed at his misfortune.
"We will acknowledge your strength, mortal. However, you aren't our match. We seem unable to use our Godly power on you like we can Theodore, but that isn't needed when we both are stronger." GOL told me.
"I see... your power is quite terrifying. No wonder that vision showed my peerage unable to keep up with you. However, I believed you both relied too much on that power. Never learning to use other means to defeat your opponents." I started realizing my small advantage. They may have more power, but that amounts to nothing if they never trained. Honed their skills. Unlike me, who has forced myself to try new things. Playing around with opponents to better understand my limits.
I may not have the most experience, since I've fallen victim to abusing my power and not relying on my skill also, but the GODS have shown me that they don't fear anything, since their power works on all mortals. So, they most likely never trained to better themselves.
"Gods like ourselves have no need to train. No need for armies. No need for betrayal, No need for support. Such are the gods. Ever since the beginning, we have been the perfect beings." GOD stated.
"You will regret thinking that way," I told them stepping backward falling into a warp gate. Appearing above the GOD. Drawing back my fist calling upon my fire dragon magic. Releasing a torrent of flames that wrapped around my fist. Releasing it toward his direction consuming him.
"Dammit! You will pay for that you insect!" GOD yelled, his aura flaring pushing the flames away showing his body boiling in some locations. A sludge-like substance falling off his body. "Don't let those flames touch you, brother. They aren't normal."
I grinned realizing something about the brothers. They are dragons, so my flames do increase damage.
Calling on the magic in my lungs I roared at the GOL before he moved to react, but he just disappeared from the path of my attack. Teleportation... or did he move too fast for me to react. I'll need to figure it out.
'Pay attention, partner! Above you!' Ddraig yelled into my mind. I used flame travel causing my body to disperse into flames that became intangible to the GOL attack. Which was a beam of light that held massive power. I would have a lost arm if Ddraig didn't warn me.
Becoming tangible. I called upon my dragon transformation. Growing a tail, claws, my mouth forming into a snout, growing sharp razor-like teeth, my feet growing claws, my body being covered in scales, and finally wings popping out of my back.
"Oh, interesting didn't think another dragon existed. Besides the Grimm, but we never counted them. However, you are no true dragon," the GOD taunted. He calmed upon his transformation becoming a huge black dragon. That towered over me.
I smirked though seeing him transforming. He just lost his advantage with speed and made himself an easier target.
The GOL was watching from the sidelines ready to intervene at any moment. However, it looked like he was letting his brother have fun.
Pushing my foot into the ground and flapping my wings to propel me with a burst of speed. Appearing below him. I called upon fire dragon slayer magic putting my claws on fire. Doing a Fire dragon claw attack. I heard a ping in the background but ignored it. When my claws cut through his body her roared in pain. Using his wings he floated up breathing a darkness blast down on the ground. I didn't have any time to dodge. But, Ddraig saved me.
"BOOST! BOOST! BOOST!" Ddraig announced, my sacred gear appearing upon my arm. I wasn't planning on using it, so early, but I would have taken too much damage from that attack.
Mainly because it isn't just their godly power that is making this dangerous. The brother's attacks are like mine. They control dragon magic of their own. Just Darkness and Light magic. I am a dragon also, so while I can damage them massively, they do much more damage to me. That one dark blast took out 50,000 health. I only survived because Ddraig boosted me.
"You survived, impressive. Also, seemed to have closed the gap in terms of our power... slightly. An interesting ability and a lot of potentials. Do you have a limit? Time limit?" GOL asked; however, I didn't answer because the GOD wasn't letting up his attacks. Summoning purple blasts of energy firing them from the sky with endless waves.
Using everything, I had, I barely could dodge the attacks. Not wanting this to continue, I pulled out my secret weapon. My hand went into my inventory drawing out Backbiter. Using all I had to cut the attacks from the air. I saw the GOL flinch from sensing the power.
"Brother, this fight needs to end. He holds s power that can truly kill us. We end this together." GOL stated raising his hand's summoning endless waves of attacks coming from the air at me.
I grit my teeth and called upon another boost. Able to keep up and destroy the attacks before they could cause me harm.
"Fine, brother." GOD raised a hand before squeezing it a bright purple energy started expanding in all directions.
My eyes opening wide at the power I felt. He plans on wiping out the planet's inhabitants along with me.
'Ddraig, release the balance breaker.' I told him. He answered me by armor expanding along my whole body. An endless stream of Boosts is being shouted. I raised backbiter in the air slashing it downward into the incoming blast. Forgoing defense. I was being assaulted by their blasts from the sky. That reminded me a lot of Gate of Babylon.
The blast started to fight back against me, but Ddraig wasn't letting up. He kept boosting my strength and I could feel the blast being pushed back with my power. My power increasing reaching that of the brothers. However, my body was screaming in agony. I started gaining fatigue and being pushed back. However, Ddraig who had stopped boosting did one final hail mary. He boosted me above my limit. My muscles and bones in my arms shattered. However, I was able to cut through the GOD attack sending it flying back toward the brothers.
They were suspecting me to be able to breakthrough. So, they weren't prepared, and it flew into them sending them flying backward. The GOD left a large destructive path in his wake, from being knocked into the ground and sliding. While the GOL was flung backward leaving an imprint into the ground in a single spot. Their attacks were dispersed. Knowing I didn't have much longer in balance breaker, I jumped into the air landing on top of the GOL reached his hand up grasping the blade desperately trying to pull it out, but it would not allow him to wield it. Cutting away at his hand like a Japanese samurai sword.
"How dare you! Get off of HIM!" the GOD hitting me off his brother with his tail. He reverted to his regular form trying to grab the blade. Jerking his hand away since the blade was sentient. "Brother hold on. I'll heal you. We have been through the worst."
"We haven't brother. No mortal has ever injured us. Especially, enough to make me fade." GOL said, laughing slightly golden blood spitting out of his mouth.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have played with him. I should have ended him at the beginning." GOD said sadly. "We could accept the deal."
I didn't have much strength left. The balance breaker took too much energy. I could barely keep my eyes open.I was still listening to the brothers, and I was glad I managed to at least change the future and save my family. I just hope they will be saved without me. Hikari may come after them, but I can't stop it.
"Like you said brother us GODS need no support. The witch who claims to be with the light has too much darkness for us brother. Even for you. We will lose our sense of reason. It isn't worth it just to live." GOL said to his brother.
"If I can get the blade out of your body you can heal. It will take time, but you will live." The GOD reached for the blade that started to viciously cut away at his hand. He didn't let up and black blood was dripping from his hand. Sliding down into the wound of his brother. Who realized what was happening but had no strength to stop it.
The brothers had few weaknesses not many would know, but they did. After being with each other since the dawn of time. Their powers worked on each other to an extent and if they wanted to they could kill each other. Another problem lied in their blood when it mixed the balance became unstable. Light and Dark simply don't mix.
Normally the GOL would just purge his body of his brother's blood, but when a sword that eats away at your soul is in your body. You don't have much power to spare. So, his body was consuming his brother's blood add unholy energy to his being, so his vessel started cracking. He reached for his brother's hand desperately to make it stop, but his strength left him when he felt another foreign energy leave his body.
"Oh, foolish brothers. You should know that light and dark are a delicate balance if one overpowers the other it will consume you... Unless that balance is restored then a being of unimaginable power is born. I shall assist in restoring the balance." Hikari said, not showing herself only her voice could be heard.
The GOD looked around before his eyes went wide and looked down at his brother realizing his mistake.
"I forgive you. Sorry, I couldn't keep our promise." GOL said, before exploding into a white vortex with a speck of black in the center. The GOD looked at the scene in front of him before walking toward the vortex.
"Ever since the moment I was born. You have always been there. In the beginning, we fought as mortals do. However, the promise wasn't a one-sided thing. I held onto that promise this entire time and I intend to keep it. If you are to be consumed, so shall I." With those words, he stuck his hand into the vortex his whole being starting to crack much more rapidly than his brother did, before exploding his energy being consumed by the vortex.
I watched the scene in front of me knowing I was going to die. I had gained barely enough energy to stay awake and to get on my knees. The only reason I'm alive right now is that Gamer's Body is a broken skill as long as I have health, I'll live. Gamer's body isn't all-powerful though. Since even game characters can gain fatigue. I just never had been worked up enough for this to happen. Strangely, I never felt tired though until now. Well, I guess it doesn't matter I'm going to die here.
"Hey, kid. At full strength do you think you could defeat them?" I heard someone ask me.
I turned my eyes toward the voice to see Theodore. Who looked slightly pale, but his wounds were now sealed. Aura is truly a powerful thing. Oh, wow, I guess I never did truly use it. Did I even ever attempt to learn my semblance?
"Answer the question, kid," Theodore demanded.
Could I defeat them? Before I had two being of unimaginable power to fight. Now they are much stronger, but I only need to focus on one. So, my chances are better. Can I defeat them though? I then looked down at my hand. Sunshine, the power of invincibility. Along with the power of boosted gear. What would happen if I combined infinity with the power of Sunshine? The possibilities are endless. The only problem is I still have an hour until sunrise. Sunshine isn't my only strength though. I don't need it.
"Yes," I answered with no more reluctance or fear. I have the power of three of the Seven Deadly Sins. Who had the power to defeat gods. Along with Ddraig who even the three factions feared. Not counting all my other strengths.
"What do you need me to do?" Theodore asked, I looked at him before my eyes shine red.
"Blood, I need blood," I demanded, Theodore, didn't even hesitate and brought himself closer to me. Allowing me access to his neck.
"Mine should suffice," Theodore said, before the whole planet started shaking we looked toward the vortex seeing a massive black dragon head poke itself out taking a look around before settling on us. "Hurry!"
I lurched toward his neck biting down into it draining his blood. I wasn't holding back. I drained and drained feeling my energy rising to its peak. I could feel the life force in Theodore's blood. Feel the blood pulsing in his veins. I almost didn't stop draining his blood seconds before he was dead, he had long since passed out from blood loss, but I now had my energy back. I stood up taking off my Sunshine sealing ring storing it. Sticking my hand out backbiter flew out of the vortex into my hand.

Bonus to Luck given.
Luck is now 250
If worst comes to worst I can buy time to sunrise. A massive white head joined the black dragon head before both started charging up a breath attack. I picked up Theodore and walked into a warp gate teleporting away from the dragons. Specifically, to the evacuation point. A massive explosion could be heard from the direction of Shade and the large structure that was the Academy vanishing from the face of Remnant.
Many huntsmen drew their weapons pointing them at me, when I exited my gate, before lowering them seeing who I had with me. I handed Theodore to one of the huntsmen before turning back toward my warp gate.
"You can hate me Hikari, but if you would have just stopped and listened to Prime you would have learned the truth," I said, stepping out in front of the brothers who combined into the two-headed dragon I saw in my vision. This one seemed stronger though. It looked at me seeming to be studying me. Not making a move to end me.
"It wouldn't have changed anything," she said, telling me she was listening.
"Prime loved you. He may not have been the best father, but he did even if he didn't show it." I said, summoning my boosted gear. Resonating with backbiter that was still in my hand.
"Shut up. You know nothing, father. Don't act as if you do, if you remember nothing." Hikari said angrily.
"Fine. If you want to be that way." I said, feeling sadness well up inside of me. "I'll prove to you, that he, no I love you. Prime and I are the same I need to stop pretending we aren't."

[System and Semblance cannot exist at the same time. Must choose one.]
Delete System
[Yes] or [No]
I must choose? Why must I give up one power for the other? The system was the only reason, I had gained my power this quickly. Will my stats become useless? Will I have to start over?
[Host will retain current power and skills.]
Why can't I have both?
[Host needs to make a decision.]
I... will forever be grateful for the Gamer system, but it has one flaw. The user can gain incomprehensible power quickly but never draw upon power above their limit. They need more strength or abilities to do this. If the system is lost, this weakness should as well.
Delete system.

[Goodbye Player, thanks for playing.]
It was at this moment that, I felt a link to something shatter and I felt a weight was lifted. I didn't think about it while making my decision, but what about my inventory. The relics were in there.
'I didn't think this would happen.' Prime said, letting himself be known. 'I never did achieve a semblance no matter what I tried. I assumed I was above such things. Guess even I was blind .'
Before I could say anything, I felt a piercing pain in my head. Memories started coming back to me.
'Good, your remembering.' Prime said before I felt myself losing control of my body. "I'll take over from here. While my memories go to you. Not all will come back, but the important bits will."
That was when my sight went blank and I saw blackness.
Prime POV:
I'm back. Not at full power, but it will do. Even 20% of my previous power far outclasses these dragons. The dragons slammed one of their hands down on me attempting to crush me. However, without even trying I raised my hand stopping their hand in place. Lifting them easily and throwing them into the sky. I could see them trying to use their wings to stop their ascension, but it was taking a bit of effort.
"Disappointing, I was aiming for the moon," I said, raising my hand and in a grasping movement acted like I was grabbing the dragon brothers. Their body seized upon them and I instinctively knew I had them in my grip. I brought my hand down to the ground them descending rapidly with the movement of my hand and getting pinned to the ground.
Their heads were latching in my direction and attempting to shoot light and darkness, but I was using my power to cause their breaths to die in their throats. Mavros was way weaker than he should have been. He wouldn't have been able to defeat the brothers like I am, but his abilities were way more powerful than he used them.
He just had no real combat experience because he relied too much on Ban's power and after losing it, stayed in a world not able to give him a challenge. If Grayfia would have trained him before he left DxD maybe he would have realized weakness. Himself.
Now that I'm able to take control he doesn't need to worry about the Xperience since the battles I've experienced would make the Gods of Wars retreat in fear. He may even see some of those battles, but even I'm not aware of what he is seeing. Before fighting Hikari, I looked into the future and these events I'm experiencing now aren't what should be happening. Mavros should have lost his peerage in the fight against the brothers, but Nike told him the future.
Which I saw, but his reaction to it was something different from what fate had decreed. I saw him trying to train them and give them powers, but ultimately still failing. He would have lost everyone, but Ravel and lost himself in his dragon form. He would have won the fight and Ophis would have saved him, but at that point, he wouldn't have cared about anything and went after all the keys to my locks. Hoping to take control of my power to bring them back.
He would have had against the odds, barely defeating Arthur and becoming the King of Chaos. At that point he would be so drained that my will would have overtaken his, giving me control, but now it's anyone game. I don't even care if I lose, this is something I've never experienced, so the first time in millennia, I'm having fun.
A grin grew on my face before I could even realize it. I looked over at the brothers and they were getting on my nerves with their loud thrashing and roaring. They had long since lost their minds. So, they could use their full potential. If they weren't a mindless beast they could have least broken out of my hold, but beating me would have been impossible.
I sent my shadow toward them before in raised from the ground at a speed incomprehensible and spikes were protruding through their bodies. However, they still were thrashing at my direction. Their heads were the only thing that could move since it was the only thing that didn't have a spike through them but their necks couldn't move because of the spike protruding from it.
"Still alive? Wonder if I peeled your scales from your body if you would stay alive. One way to find out." I said walking toward them summoning some surgery tools into my hand made of shadows. I could use other elements, but darkness was my strongest. The only element I couldn't use was light since I gave it away.
I know she is watching. Wondering if she will speak to me. She may have attempted to kill me, but I don't blame her.
I blame myself.
Theodore POV
Waking up and feeling yourself shivering and barely having enough strength to move is not a comfortable feeling. I knew it was because I've lost so much blood, but I could only be glad I was alive.
I looked around the courtyard and saw the kid that looked like a Branwen not acting like he was before, but he was much stronger now and had managed to bring the massive dragon to the ground. Now he was torturing the dragon by slowly using a... shadow scalpel into the scales and peeling them off the dragon. That was only able to lay there, roaring in pain.
"Annoying, but interesting that your still alive wonder if you will be after I've removed the tongue and teeth. They may be useful." I heard the kid say, in a voice that emitted power.
This. was. not. the. same. kid. This was someone no something else.
I used the little strength I had to get my scroll out of my pocket. Using the movement and the ground to remove it. I didn't have hands, so it was the best I could do. I then used my nose to call Ironwood.
"General Schnee speaking. How can Atlas help?" Winter Schnee said, confusing me.
Why would Ironwood's second in command be in charge now? Unless, he died. Whatever, more important matters at the moment.
"Theodore of Shade Academy requesting help. Send everyone you have the Gods have returned and started attacking Vacuo. They are in battle with a man much stronger and I fear his sights may turn onto Vacuo." I said, getting silence on the scroll.
"Does the man have black hair and red eyes like a Branwen?" General Schnee asked, confusing me. Yeah, why is this important?
"He does," I told her, hearing a sigh come from Winter. Does she know this man?
"Atlas will send one ship and I'll personally be on it. No more will be sent." General Schnee told me.
"Send more. One ship will not be enough." I told her, desperately hoping she would listen.
"I'm aware. The whole fleet isn't even enough. Mavros is a being that we can't defeat." She told me, cutting the call.
I looked over at the now named Mavros wondering who this man is. He can go toe to toe with the Gods, more powerful than the entire Atlas fleet, and killed Ozpin.
I saw him laughing while cutting the white dragon's eyes out of its head. It has long since given up, but was still breathing.
He is a monster.
Mindscape with Mavros
Opening my eyes, I was standing in the center of a battlefield. All around me were corpses and people fighting. I was wondering what was happening and where I was. I didn't recognize my surroundings or people, so I wasn't transported to another world I knew.
I was going to explore when I saw a tear in reality form in front of me. The only feeling I felt was dread seeing the tear. Everyone on the battlefield had stopped and all got down on their knees praying for salvation.
"What is going on?" I said out loud, hearing a childish voice confusing me. Looking down at myself, my hands were much smaller than they should have been. My height couldn't have been more than 4ft. I was covered in blood from head to toe. Had a sword strapped to my hip. Along with a dagger that was in my boots. I felt a taste in my mouth and when I swiped my tongue along the substance. I found out what it was.
It was meat and looking near my location I saw that a corpse cast in gold armor was ripped open from his chest and looked to be eaten by a beast. When I swiped my tongue over my teeth I felt large canines. That would make shredding a corpse open easily.
...I'm a cannibalistic kid in war any devoured an important person. Why?
I at this moment looked up to see a large hand come out of the tear. It was all burnt and had giant claws as fingers. The hand grabbed upon the tear before swiping making the tear much larger. Eventually, I saw who the hand belonged to it was a being that body was all burnt over more like I was naturally its flesh. It's eyes were pitch black like an abyss.
I realized I was licking my lips and was confused this body is acting on its own. It was at this moment that I realized I was in a memory with semi-control of the body. Specifically, Prime memories.
"Destroyer, your powers will be mine!" Prime yelled at the being attracting its attention. It's eyes shot out a blast of energy toward Prime. Who dodged out of its way.
He dodged? This must have been before his time of being a GOD. So, the being in front of him loses and he gains its powers through devouring it's flesh.
"Foolish mortal, your actions have been watched by us GODS. We have found them interesting, so let them continue, but your actions have caused this world's doom. We have deemed your existence a hindrance." the being said, swiping its hand releasing energy toward the surroundings.
Prime just laughed before his body started to change. His skin changed to a hard-like substance that allowed him/me to survive the blast. Then wings erupted from his back that looked like large bat wings. Everyone else on the battlefield was wiped out. No matter what side they were on.
What the hell did he devour?!
"The skin of the Adamantine tortoise and wings of the elusive devils. You have gained powers from worthy adversaries, but none of them could defeat us GODS." The GOD stated. "Devourer this is where you meet your end."
"Maybe not alone, but together. They are more than a match." Prime stated his legs turning hairy before he accelerated toward the GOD.
The GOD sighed before slamming his foot down on the ground causing the earth to start to break apart. Prime used his wings to fly and avoid the earth. Using his powerful legs to jump from platform to platform.
The GOD raised his hand stopping everything from moving. Even the wind seemed to stop. Prime stopped in the air not a single muscle even twitched. The GOD grabbed Prime out of the air starting to crush him. However, Prime waited for this moment. His head turned to that of a lizardman with sharp teeth before biting into one of the fingers on the GOD's hand with enough force to go straight to the bone.
The god bellowed in pain before dropping Prime. Who floated in the air chewing the flesh of the GODS flesh in its mouth before a large serpent-like tongue licked its lips.
"How are you moving? Time has stopped." The GOD asked.
"I thought the GODS were watching my actions. Did you not know of me until recently? Oh well, guess even GODS are fallible. Well, I got my hands on creatures that transcend time." Prime said, drool coming out of his mouth.
The GOD went quiet before glaring at Prime. "HOW DARE YOU! The fairies were a peaceful race. They didn't deserve being wiped out." The GOD said in anger like it was personal.
"What did I eat someone you knew? Let me, tell you. You missed out their wings were, so sweet. Almost like vanilla ice cream. It's a classic, but something else in their wings just made it more delicious. Maybe their tears. I never did find anything else with enough flavor to make it appealing." Prime said, claws growing and he started picking at his teeth. "Well, until now."
As Prime spoke I saw the scenes of him faking an injury in a forest. A young fairy taking pity on him. Teleporting him to the realm of fairies before his wound healed suddenly and started eating the fairies. He even started torturing them by plucking their wings of slowly eating them in front of the fairies before devouring them.
He especially took his time on the fairy queen. Making her watch and listen to the screams of the other fairies. He made her clean his teeth of her fellow fairies after it was all done before ripping her wings off and eating one and storing the other for later. She was in tears blood pouring down her back.
The fairy queen was able to control her size to be a few inches to that of a human. So, after eating her wing Prime gained that ability which was later used to make several creatures drop their guards. However, he didn't stop there with the queen he made her grow in size and forced himself on her.
He had devoured many creatures by this time and had a lot of stamina, so they went on for days, weeks, months, years. No matter if the Fairy queen begged for them to stop. He continued. She was dead before she was even killed. The queen was forced to bear a few children of Primes. Since fairies had a different pregnancy time than humans. She gave birth quicker.
Prime had her birth a new line of Fairies and he never killed them. He made them serve him. They were his own personal army. The queen was no longer any use to him, so eventually, she was given mercy.
"Tell me! Did you make them suffer? The queen suffer?" The GOD asked.
"Hmm, well I kept her around for a few years. Of course, her wings were taken from her, but she was still a fairy. I thought that it may be a good idea to make a fairy army, so I had many children with her. Should have seen her, she was a screamer. The first few months she kept screaming for help from someone named Kornis. Never found out who that was though." Prime said, reaching into his coat pocket taking out a box. "She was my favorite toy, so kept one of her wings."
The GOD went quiet for a time he just stared at the box in Prime's hand in disbelieve.
"Kornis was the name of her lover. My name." The GOD said, heat starting to emit from his body. The sky started to darken. Thunder sounding all around us.
"Oh, well, you are a horrible GOD. Didn't know that your lover was being tortured and forced by another man." Prime said, laughing. "By the way, by the end, she was calling my name."
"Your dead!" Kornis yelled, Thunder coming down to strike Prime and several orbs of darkness going to envelop him.
Right before the attacks hit Prime he snapped his fingers turning it all into dust.
"Did you forget the power of the fairies?" Prime asked, looking at the god bored.
"No, but they never had the power to stop GODS attacks. How are you?" Kornis growled.
"Your flesh held a lot of power. I just combined it with the power of the fairies." Prime told him. "I've grown tired of this. I thought you would give me a thrill, but seems like you were weaker than expected."
"BROTHERS! SISTERS! THIS MORTAL NEEDS TO BE STOPPED! I DON'T HAVE THE POWER BY MYSELF!" Kornis yelled.
Several other tears in space started to open up and Prime/I just smiled.
"Naive Fool," Prime said, confusing Kornis.
Prime had planned this. He wanted Kornis to call for help. Wanted the other GODS to descend. Kornis just handed the powers of the GODS to Prime on a silver platter.
Before any of the GODS could step out of their portals Prime called upon several different transformations and propelled himself toward Kornis. Who couldn't even react before Prime had gone through his chest making a small hole. Next thing he knew Prime started eating him from the inside out.
He cried out in pain clawing at his chest. Leaving deep claw marks on his chest. Prime had the power to end Kornis from the beginning. He just wanted him to call for backup. When his goal was accomplished, Kornis outlived his usefulness. However, Prime wasn't going to leave a perfectly good meal go to waste. Devouring all of Kornis's important organs.
During this time the other GODS stepped through watching Kornis desperately claw at his chest. They could do nothing but watch the scene unfold. It wasn't long before Kornis fell over dead and Prime clawed himself out of Kornis's large chest. Emerging and being covered in black blood. His body started to pulse with energy that should kill any mortal. However, Prime's special ability allowed him to gain the abilities of anything he devoured and assimilate it perfectly with his body.
So, his body started protecting itself self and instead of his body trying to instantly gain the abilities. It slowly allowed it to flow into every organ, muscle, vein, cell. Black blood could be seen rising to the surface of his skin. The sclera of his eyes slowly turned black. Through this whole process, Prime felt tremendous pain. However, he had absorbed many creatures with overwhelming regenerative abilities that any fatal injuries healed easily.
"Impossible. No mortal can take the power of a GOD. It would destroy them from the inside out." one of the male GODS said, while they watched the scene in disbelieve.
"From my observations, the mortal isn't taking Korni's power. It's more being used as a catalyst." a female god said, gaining the attention of her siblings.
"Catalyst? A catalyst for what?" A female god with a large bow drawn asked.
"This mortal... no they can't be considered a mortal anymore. Has done the impossible and has started to change. He has consumed many beasts, creatures, and abilities. Which made him hardly mortal before, but now the mortal's efforts have taken fruit. He is evolving. Ascending." The god answered intrigued.
"We can't allow that." the god with the bow said, stringing an arrow aiming at Prime. Large amounts of power started converging in the arrow.
None of the other GODS argued and started giving their energy to charge up the blast.
Prime watched this scene unfold in front of him. However, he was stuck his body was still assimilating the energy. He couldn't move. Couldn't cancel the attack with the power of the faires. Too many powers overlapping in the arrow made it impossible. If he would have known his body would have had to assimilate the energy he would have planned ahead.
He was out of tricks.
Prime tried all he could to move, his body was locked up. It wouldn't move no matter his efforts. So, he did the only thing he could. He glared at the GODS. To show them that he would not show fear even in his final moments.
The GODS noticed his eyes seeing that he didn't fear them and they all couldn't help, but be filled with fear. They all knew they were lucky that Prime was still evolving because they knew he would have destroyed and consumed them.
The GODS had charged enough energy in the arrow that it's presence was starting to destroy the surroundings. It was shining brightly it was almost like the sun had descended onto the planet. They released the arrow. It was hurling toward Prime. Leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Prime didn't show fear at the attack that could erase his existence. He accepted his fate.
Before Prime could be hit through several thousand small portals started opening up behind him. Out came thousands upon thousands of fairies that all started putting their magic into a large barrier to protect Prime. It was perfect timing because the arrow was seconds away to hit Prime.
"We are here to save you, father!" Several childish voices yelled.
Prime watches his children try to protect him from the blast. Looking at this a father would normally feel pride or gratitude for his children. He felt nothing, but satisfaction. The satisfaction that his moment of lust for the Fairy Queen allowed him to create disposable pawns. He never had any emotional attachment to his children. The many he had were just pawns to him.
He watched the barrier wondering if it would hold while many of his children were slowly turning to dust because their magic kept them alive. Which they were using to maintain the shield. While watching the barrier his body was slowly getting accustomed to his power. The black blood was starting to leak through his pours. Almost like it was purging all impurities of his mortal body.
Hearing a crack he knew the barrier wasn't going to hold much longer and in that small amount of time only a hundred of his children were alive. His body was slowly gaining its functions again. He was able to rise to his feet slowly. His eyes glowing in deep darkness. That seemed to be staring back.
It was at this moment that something shattered in Prime. Knowing what to do he raised his hand toward the attack, a deep darkness started rising from the ground going into Prime. Right when the barrier shattered a black void came out of his hand like a vortex. The vortex sucked in the energy of the attack before devouring the energy whole. The GODS looked on in fear when their combined attack was erased like it was nothing.
Prime children all collapsed to the ground barely having enough energy to stay alive. Closing his hand the vortex disappeared and Prime looked around at the piles of the dust of his children. He didn't feel anger, sadness, or grief. He felt empty. However, with a wave of his hand black shadows raised from the ground absorbing the piles of dust.
"Foolish children, saving a father that never was there or cared. I am... grateful for your naiveties. To honor your sacrifices you shall join me... in the Abyss." Prime said, shocking the GODS knowing what Prime has become.
Prime was no longer a mortal, he was closer to a GOD... no something greater. Prime has become what all GODS try to become a concept. Concepts don't need followers, worshippers, or any needs. They just exist, forever powerful, forever growing. However, not just any concept, the Abyss.
Where all beings even GODS began and will eventually end. The Abyss is chaos. Can destroy or create by just being. It has control of all things for it is where all things came. From the dawn of time, many have tried harnessing the power for themselves, but all would meet their end... until now.
"Daddy, we are so glad you are alive." One of Prime's daughters said, crawling to him because she couldn't use her wings and couldn't stand. It was an interesting site seeing something that couldn't be bigger than a few inches try looking up at someone 4ft in height.
Prime said nothing. Just looked at his children his eyes glowing a deep black. The GODS watched the scene in fear. All were frozen still. Afraid that if they even breathed Prime would turn his sights on them.
Prime picked up his daughter that crawled to him letting her rest in his hand. She was extremely confused, but a massive blush appeared on her face. Showing she was embarrassed. Along with a giant smile.
"Isabella, you and your sisters shall receive gifts from me. You will become the new Fairy Queen. Gaining new powers along with it. While your siblings will also gain powers." All his children looked up at Prime hopeful, many looked jealous at their sister being singled out by their father.
They had never received a gift from their father. However, if any had the choice on a gift they would just want to be called by their names. Many were afraid of him, so they said nothing just grateful he had finally acknowledged them. Finally, glad that they could feel some of their father's love. Like all children wish for.
How foolish they were.
Mavros knew what was coming and he felt himself be filled with sadistic glee. A grin formed on his face... Prime's face. Mavros could only watch while the shadows now known as the Abyss came out of Prime's hand flying into all remaining fairies. Isabella being completely submerged in the void. Screams filled the air none as loud as Isabella.
The Abyss even though could create life and could be seen as holy was more chaotic in nature. So, something that destructive going into Pure Fairies was something never meant to be. It started to change them into something never before seen.
Mavros could feel everything Prime felt and he felt nothing, but pleasure, satisfaction, greed, wrath, lust, and many emotions that showed he didn't hold remorse. Mavros could feel his personality being overwritten, but he was fighting it. However, at this time he finally figured out why Prime was, so evil.
Each thing Prime consumed he took on not just their strengths, but their emotions. However, the strongest emotions would be the ones to take hold of his personality. Meaning each time Prime ate something. He would gain that creatures, person, or beings, darkest emotions. Their fear, lust, anger, pleasure. Not realizing before it was too late. He had eaten too many foods that he didn't care he was no longer his self anymore. He just wanted more. More power. More emotions. These things were the only thing that satisfied him.
When the Abyss and Prime became one everything was amplified all the emotions hit their max. While the other emotions that had been suppressed for, so long were almost erased. They were still there, but almost impossible to reach.
When the screams finally died down Prime sucked in the Abyss allowing his children freedom. However, unlike before his children didn't glow a slight golden light anymore. They were glowing a shade of black around their bodies. Isabella who was at the center of the... gift had retained most of her fairy-like appearance and beauty.
While almost like a curse her siblings lost almost all semblance to their former selves. Their wings had turned almost demonic in appearance still retaining the fairy-like appeal they let off. Showing their beautiful designs. Long nails grew from their hands and their eyes were pitch black like Prime's showing that the abyss had taken hold of them.
"That hurt, daddy. Did you enjoy our screams? They must have been music to your ears." Isabella said, giggling showing the change the Abyss had on her.
Prime grinned and put Isabella on his shoulder while she sat there happily.
Prime looked over at the GODS making them start visibly shaking.
"Please spare u-" One of the Male GODS started saying before his bottom jaw was disconnected from his body. His hands went up to his face before those too were cut off. He then was cut into several thousand pieces before all flying toward Prime. Who summoned a cup and proceeded to drink the remains of the GOD like a smoothie.
"Hmm, GOD of Earth and Seas. Not bad taste. Could have had a bit more fear though." Prime said before chains start wrapping around the remaining GODS. Appearing in front of them without using any special movement, speed, or power. It was like he vanished and reappeared in front of them. "Now what do I do with you three?"
The three remaining GODS shook in fear. Two being female the other male. Deep down in the male GODS heart, he knew there was little use for him. So, he was just praying for a quick death.
"You are a GOD like us. You don't need to do this." The bow Goddess begged. Prime slowly laid his hand on her face rubbing his thumb on her lips.
"I am not a mortal nor GOD... I am worse." Prime said, his hand slowly going down her neck before going over her chest.
Mavros saw the memory disappearing and instead of reliving the experience in Prime's body, he found himself looking at the scene from afar. Prime looked over at Mavros and said something that put fear into his heart.
"Never one without the other," Prime said, making Mavros feel fear and wonder if he could stop him and Prime from becoming one or were they already one.
He already has darker tendencies than when he first reincarnated. He could feel the pleasure he felt at making the GODS submit to him. Betraying his daughter's trust and making them slaves. The power to wrap reality around his finger. The emotions of those he devoured. Making the Fairy Queen call out his name over her lover. Breaking her will repeatedly.
Mavros didn't know if he wanted to fight it.
Omake/ Cannon Story Part 2:
"Back off! I just want the money. No one has to be hurt!" A man who was dripping water from every inch of his body was yelling. His hair drooped over his face. He had a young teen girl in his arms. Pointing a gun around while a water orb was floating around the girl's head in a way that she could still breathe, but with a quick movement could suffocate her.
Civilians and Police who watched the scene were worried about the hostage the Police couldn't shoot the target without fear of hurting the hostage. They were just trying to buy time. The girl was crying desperately wanting help.
Izuku Midoriya was at a nearby convenience store when he heard the commotion. Being the number 1 hero had its flaws because people were running over to him for help. Sighing he was frustrated at this because it was supposed to be his day off, but kept his cool and smiled reassuringly at the civilians.
He walked out of the convenience store and toward the scene. The cops didn't notice his approach more concerned about the suspect. Not even bothering to get the situation he walked past the cops toward the villain which caught everyone's attention.
"BACK OFF! I'll kill her, I swear!" the suspect yelled, afraid of the number 1 hero. Izuku stopped and took a step back.
He looked around the scene. Getting a grasp on his surroundings. He had several ways to stop the criminal. He just didn't want to hurt the girl.
"This situation is already bad enough as it is. This can escalate very quickly and become much worst. Let the girl go and accept your punishment." Izuku said, making the villain glare at him.
The criminal moved the water out of the way slightly jamming the gun into the girl's head. Causing her to yelp in pain. Izuku's eyes narrowed at the gun. Knowing the guy could twitch his finger and end the girl quickly. He still had the situation under control though.
"You know nothing. Heroes don't understand how hard it is. Did you know most heroes hardly do anything to stop criminals and are given a salary just because they exist?" The criminal spat. "While us people who were unfortunate enough to not have strong enough quirks or money struggle to get by in our lives."
Izuku didn't say anything. He couldn't say anything. It was a fact that most heroes can't or don't do anything for the public, but still, get paid as long as they retain their hero status. Honestly, it was disgusting. A hero should be the one who arrives at the scene to put hope in people's hearts while fear into the villains.
That was mainly why Izuku's costume looked more what a villain would wear. He long outgrew the costume his mother made him. So, when he had gotten another outfit. It was made in a similar design but had a rougher appearance.
Of course, he wasn't in his hero outfit. But the principle still stood. He was a symbol with or without the costume.
Taking a deep breath Izuku prepared himself in a way he could close the distance but made it look like he wasn't trying anything. In a second One for All activated and he was propelling himself off the ground appearing in front of the criminal. This was planned in a way that when he had stopped a shockwave would occur forcing the water away from the victim's head. In a moment he had pushed the gun away putting his hand in front of the chamber.
The criminal was startled and had twitched his finger and was already starting to fire his gun. Several rounds went off and Izuku feeling them wasn't fazed. He proceeded to twist the barrel of the gun and grab the criminal arm twisting them and taking him to the ground holding him down. The police were already on the move seeing the hostage was free and the criminal was restrained.
A few Paramedics ran over to the girl who was crying and in shock. While several officers ran over to take the criminal from Deku. A paramedic followed behind them.
"Are you okay, sir? We all heard the shot let me check your hand." The paramedic asked while the police coffee the criminal dragging them away.
Izuku had been through this several times already. He does reckless things that would get almost anyone at least injured daily medics always want to check him even with him refusing treatment, so he had learned to just show he wasn't hurt and leave.
"Don't worry my quirk protected me," Izuku said with a smile, showing his hand still holding the bullets. The paramedic looked shocked at his hand inspecting it for any wounds.
"You must have a great quirk. You are gifted." The paramedic sincerely said.
Izuku smiled turning to jump away. Murmuring to himself.
"Gift... more like a curse," he whispered, however, the paramedic heard and looked at him in concern.
Izuku activated One for All again to boost his body. It was at this time that his danger sense quirk activated without his input. Looking toward the direction he saw a glint of an arrow going toward the criminal who was about to get in the cop car. Izuku hated using other quirks, but in this situation didn't hesitate. Using his stored kinetic energy activated Fa Jin.
Exploding in a burst of speed appeared in front of the villain. Reaching to grab the arrow his danger sense activated again and he barely had time to put his arms up in a shielding manner. The arrow exploded. Causing the car next to him to explode killing the criminal who was inches from it and the cop who was putting him in the car flung backward. Being knocked unconscious with several pieces of shrapnel stuck in his chest. The officer wasn't likely to survive the night.
Izuku was fine because his shock absorption quirk took most of the blow and his self-healing quirk activated.
However, he was furious. Even villains don't deserve death. Especially, if they didn't harm anyone. So, Izuku quickly acted and jumped in the air and started levitating in the air using Float.
Observing the nearby areas he saw someone looking at him from a nearby roof. He was wearing an all-black outfit. He had a Katana on his back along with a quiver. He held a bow in his hand and had several explosives attached to his outfit. The person wasn't showing his face because it was covered under his hood and it looked like they were wearing a ski mask.
Izuku didn't know who this man was, but he needed to be brought in for justice. So, he deactivated float and the superhero landed in front of the man.
"Who are you! Why did you kill him?" Izuku demanded answers.
The man didn't say anything and reached his hand into a pocket taking out what looked to be a trigger and a card.
"What is it going to be me or... the people?" the man said, his voice muffled and, in that time, -pressed the trigger and tossed the card at Izuku.
At the same time, many explosions could be seen around the city. Followed by several screams. Izuku's head turned toward the explosions in shock before turning his head back to where the man once stood seeing him gone. His card laying on the ground. Izuku picked it up taking a glance at it. Seeing the symbol of dynamite with a crown above it.
On the back of the card, it read, 'Still too afraid to use my power, Deku. Now I'll show you what I've become.'
Izuku was in shock. Bakugou had changed. He was always an aggressive person, but to murder. Izuku didn't think he was capable of this. Maybe a villain, but the explosions around the city probably killed dozens.
Shaking his head, to clear his thoughts he turned his head toward the city and jumped away. Down below in one of the rooms of the building Bakugou took of his mask. Coughing into his hand. When he removed his hand from his mouth, he looked at his hand to see blood.
"Not yet. I'm not done, yet." Bakugou said, pulling out a phone. Seeing the news of the explosions were already being aired and how the number 1 hero failed to protect a criminal and police officer.
Headlines reading 'Several abandoned buildings in none populated areas exploding. What could be the cause? None no harm in explosions. Has the number 1 hero met his match?'
Swiping his screen showed the pictures of several villains and police officers. Along with some heroes. He pressed on one of the pictures of an officer and made a side note. 'Officer who forced his children into despicable acts and had secret interactions with local gangs. Taken care of along with a low-rated criminal. Acceptable casualty.'
Scrolling along with the list that was in alphabetical order. His eyes lingered on one name and picture that of Izuku Midoriya. Along the pictures and names of targets showed a reason they were on the list in the first place. Izuku's crime read, 'Personal reasons.' Giving no further details. Pressing on another name Bakugou turned back toward the window and jumped out disappearing into the sewers.
Bakugou had changed and Izuku was aware of his reemergence. Who would win the hero or... vigilante?
A/n:
Well, this chapter was amazing to write. I'm having a lot of fun with the BNHA omake. Wonder if I should make a whole story on it or just continue with the makes. What do you all think?
Anyways, Mavros and Prime have started to assimilate and the gamer system is gone. Don't worry Mavros still retains all his powers. Honestly, I was tired of having to worry about the system in the background. So, I just made a plot to get rid of it that made sense.
It also allows me to make Prime come into the story, which I was planning, but couldn't find a way for it to make sense. So, I'm happy with this result. Guess this can't be called a gamer story anymore, but it was for a long time, so the title and description stay the same.
Sorry, for the long update time. Life, work, and writer block happened. So, every time I would start to write, I would just be, so tired that I can't think. I'll eventually finish all my stories. Since I despise unfinished works, but I know many readers will get agitated about the waits. So, hopefully, you all continue to read.
Thanks to the many readers who understand that writers have lives too. Most writers do this as a hobby and don't get paid, so life takes precedent.
Well, that is all the important notes, I wanted to say.
Thanks for reading. Let me know all your thoughts on the chapter and story so far. I always encourage constructive criticism.
